On the night of November 3, 2025, units of the Defense Forces of Ukraine struck the Saratov Oil Refinery in the Saratov region of the Russian Federation, the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine has said.

"A hit on the facility and a fire were recorded in the area of the ELOU AVT-6 (Electro-desalting and de-watering unit) of the oil refining complex," the message on the Telegram channel states.
